When I remember your curtesies which are not a few, and how louing, and faithfull a freind you haue benn to me, I can not but lament when I thinke of your iourny, for though the bond of loue still contineues, yet the distance of place will not let vs be soe vsefull, and com­163fortable one to an other as now we are, which makes me still desier your stay here, if it may be for Godes glory, and your owne good. Mr. Rogers of Weathersfeilde2 is agaynst your goeing, and would fayne meet with you, for your reasons doe not satisfie him. Sir Dru Deane is not att home, but I sheude your writinges by his appoyntment to Mr. Briges who sayd he would send downe a Dedimus Potestatem this terme. The Ladie Deane who remembers her loue to you, would desier you to leaue the writinges, and the other thinges, you haue of hers conserning Sir Henery Manwarings businesse3 with som of your freindes in London, and to send her word where you left them, for she intends to send vp to London this next weeke. and now my wiues and my owne faithfull loue being remembred to you, desiering the Lord to direct you in your courses, I take my leaue, and rest your assured louing Brother
